What are the governing acts and laws on environment and natural resources in India?

What kind of cases can be registered in Indian courts on environment and natural resource laws?

It is intriguing to take note of that natural resources had been put away practically untouched in the Earth for many years. Be that as it may, since the begin of the industrial revolution huge measures of these resources had been abused inside a time of only two or three several years at incredible rates, with all the loss from this misuse going straight in the earth (air, water, land) and genuinely harming its natural procedures. Despite the fact that pollution had been known to exist for quite a while (in any event since individuals began utilizing fire a huge number of years back), it had seen the development of genuinely worldwide extents just since the beginning of the industrial revolution amid the nineteenth century.

Preservation and security of environment have been an indivisible piece of Indian legacy and culture. Understanding its significance, the Indian State has likewise revered it in the Constitution which requires both the state and the citizen to "protect and improve the environment" as per the Article 51-A.

The Indian Constitution, as embraced in 1950, did not manage the subject of condition or counteractive action and control of pollution all things considered (until 1976 Amendment). The first content of the constitution under Article 372(1) has incorporated the prior existing laws into the present legitimate framework and gives that notwithstanding the annulment by this constitution of sanctioning alluded to in article 397, however subjected to alternate arrangements of the constitution, all laws in force promptly before the initiation of the constitution might remain in force until adjusted, cancelled or revised by a competent law-making body or other competent authority. Accordingly, even following five decade of freedom. The plenty of such laws is still in operation with no noteworthy changes in them.
To secure and improve the environment is a constitutional order. It is the dedication for a nation married to the thoughts of a welfare State. The Indian constitution contains particular arrangements for natural assurance under the sections of Directive Principles of the State Policy and Fundamental Duties. The nonattendance of a particular arrangement in the Constitution perceiving the fundamental right to (spotless and healthy) condition has been set off by legal activism in the current circumstances.

42nd Amendment of the Constitution added Article 48A to the Directive Principles of State Policy which spoke about the State taking steps for the improvement and protection of the environment. Article 51(A) (g) created a similar responsibility on the citizens in the form of a fundamental duty.
Some examples of specialised statutes for the aim of upholding environmental concerns in India are The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974, The Indian Forest Act 1927, The Environment (Protection) Act 1986, etc.
